Bob Rosadini Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 If I read list of finishers correctly, in 24 hrs of Daytona, 13 cars in GT3. Of two Mustangs, best finish was 6th. Probably not bad for first outing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably not bad for first outing. Yeah, they had decent reliable for a first time out. All the mustangs running had the same problem with the wing, and decklid, and they all had to come in to fix that, and the car that retired had some unspecified issue with a few hours to go. But compared to the GT's first race at Daytona, things were quite smooth. The pace just wasn't there thanks to BoP. But overall, a promising start. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GearheadGrrrl Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 Lap times were competitive too, running similar weights and restrictors to Corvette and the much more expensive euro and asian competitors they matched their lap times! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GearheadGrrrl Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 Got tired of Peacock's dumping of ads in the middle of the race and seeing too much of their commentators so I switched to watching IMSA's own feed through a VPN. Besides better and less constructive commentary they had cameras in several cars- Watched the Mustang for several hours and was impressed by how smoothly and seemingly effortlessly the Mustangs turned repeated fast laps.

Well I forgot all about it until too late. What is a VPN feed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Typically it hides your real IP address and allows watching content that is otherwise restricted by location. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GearheadGrrrl Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 IMSA TV covers most of their races, but they sell the video for the more popular races to NBC/Peacock who add their own commentators and of course, ads. Problem is, they aren't clever enough to run the ads during yellow flag slowdowns, etc. but instead rudely interrupt the race coverage anytime they please. I'm a paid NBC/Peacock subscriber but it got so bad during the 24 hour race that I watched on imsa.tv through a free VPN outside the US.
